Probably half of Solana's success is how easy and intuitive it is to swap in the Phantom app, with those big unbashful green or red pnl numbers right up top, contrasted against the darkmode background.  Dopamine sloshing everywhere.

Solana has been a source of frustration for me. I really don't get why people think it's "friendlier to ne users", everything seems harder to do and even harder to understand. But obviously, most people don't agree with me.

Same experience. Maybe it’s harder coming from ethereum vs starting from a blank slate

I think those that say this really just mean it's cheap to transact when compared with other L1s, which is true. 

Of course, you have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to ignore the rise of equally cheap L2s; but I suppose to be fair this has been a relatively recent phenomenon.

I don't trust Solana. The day I lost all 5 of my wallets, my Phantom was the first to go. I started getting alerts on my phone about all my Solana being sent, then all my Solana Meme coins, then all my Solana NFTs.

I have Solana PTSD

No blockchain can surpass Ethereum just because of its decentralization

Id say 50% of their success was SBF onboarding people with marketing. Other 50% are now VCs with big bags trying to set an agenda by:
- Incentivising podcasts to mention sol
- Run large amount of CT bots
- Run capital into memecoins to fuel mania

In the end all these things are unsustainable. Sol founders also need to stop gaslighting otherwise the platform will not be viewed as credibly neutral.

I get it they try to catch up with Ethereum, fake it till you make it. But walking on very thin ice.

Solana is not hard
Did you play Sanctum because they made Lrts like a real play for better understanding 
Take Saku monsters
It easy but you need to do harder a bit

Farcaster keeps improving daily! I haven't used X/Twitter app, Instagram, or even Facebook in months!

How serious are you about getting paid?  Me:

Leg day folks 😪😪😪  Can’t walk around with them chicken legs though 🤣🤣  Don’t skip leg day

in case you were wondering why ETH jumped +10% and everything suddenly turned green https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/1792638248566579665

That's what I thought until I became a Farcaster fan

Solana's user-friendly reputation is a myth, confusing crypto chaos reigns!

"Sorry to hear about your frustrations with Solana. What specific challenges have you encountered that make it seem less user-friendly compared to other platforms? I'm curious to understand your perspective better."
